ARM and Enea have demo-ed an ARM-based reference platform for Open Platform for Network Functions Virtualisation (OPNFV).
The platform delivers NFV across a range ARM-based networking SoCs, available via the common OpenDataPlane (ODP) interface layer.”
“This application-ready platform is also the enabling layer for the Intelligent Flexible Cloud framework that will transform network infrastructure over the next decade,” says ARM’s Charlene Marini.
“Enea is committed to working together with leading hardware vendors and customers on SDN- and NFV-enabling technologies,” says Enea’s Daniel Forsgren, “we are delivering an initial configuration of NFV infrastructure to jump-start integration and application development within the ARM stakeholder community in OPNFV.”
The open source, carrier-grade NFV infrastructure platform supports a set of example virtual network function (VNF) applications. The collaboration of Enea and the ARM ecosystem of silicon partners will provide the initial building blocks of the platform, including OpenStack, OpenDaylight, Open vSwitch, KVM and the ODP built on a Linux foundation.
The focus is on creating an application-ready platform based on the ARM architecture and ODP to move the industry towards a standardised open source framework. This will support the flexibility, greater automation and scalability that is required for future network infrastructure while also enabling underlying processing efficiency.
This initial release will be incorporated into the integration and testing processes of the Linux Foundation’s OPNFV project. This will enable the broader OPNFV community to participate in performance and reliability optimisations and to validate VNF applications on the ARM architecture.
